Grog

Grog

Gulping down a flagon 

Gives one a gibbous glow. 

Gather 'round ye hardies,

Grab one and have a go. 

Ghostly foam and farting 

Gnomes bilge one gushing flow.

Garish gaffe...drinking Grog!

Ya think that's how it was in Lord of the Rings? That's one groggy poem and I love it to bits. Nice meter too (apart from the last line). Good luck in the contest
